Man dead, another injured in Falls Church shooting; police release photo of man believe to be connected

The two people were taken to a local hospital, but one of the victims did not survive. The second victim remains hospitalized, according to Fairfax County police.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — A man is dead, and another is in critical condition after a shooting in Falls Church, Virginia, early Sunday morning, police said.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 3800 block of George Mason Drive in Bailey's Crossroads around 2:19 a.m., according to Fairfax County police. Once at the scene, they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body.

Both men were taken to a local hospital, but one of the victims, Maurice Anderson, 24, of Washington, D.C., did not survive. The second victim remains hospitalized, police said.

Detectives were conducting interviews and canvassing the areas. They determined the men were at a restaurant in the Build America Plaza.

Investigators believe an argument broke out in the parking lot that led to another man firing multiple rounds and hitting the two victims, according to police. The gunman entered his vehicle and drove away. 

Authorities shared photos of a suspect they believe is responsible for the shooting, but no arrest has been made.

Fairfax County Police are asking anyone with information to contact authorities at 703-246-7800, option 2. Anonymous tips can be submitted to the Fairfax County Crime Solvers.
